As mentioned in previous posts I am revisiting cookbooks I have not used in awhile. At the same time I am looking for recipes to use up ingredients I have in my pantry and refrigerator. A few times a year I go through everything, seeing what has expired, soon to expire or using an ingredient … Continue reading
Baked beans have always been a favorite side during grilling season. Funny how some dishes are seasonal and family oriented (at least for me anyways). I grew up with doctored up Campbell’s baked beans out of a can – Mom’s were deliciously sweet and always great in addition to her potato salad. We often got … Continue reading
Before I talk about this deliciously spicy coleslaw from Momofuku I would like to introduce you to a new product (for me anyways) called Chili Crunch or Chili Crisp. According to the New York Times “This chili crisp has a Momofuku pedigree.” The original idea came from Lao Gan Ma’s Chili Crisp Sauce which is … Continue reading
Summertime is grilling and making recipes like potato salad. I have my favorite that every one likes but I also enjoy trying new recipes which compliment the main course. This potato salad is spicy and would be excellent with a grilled hamburger, steak or even chicken but I wouldn’t serve it with a mild fish … Continue reading

This was another idea I picked up in the Vegetable Simple cookbook by Eric Ripert. I have recipes for other grilled sweet potatoes like wedges but not the whole potato. This recipe is a good example of the simplicity of cooking a delicious vegetable with little fat and few ingredients. It was not covered in … Continue reading
Obviously, this is a vegetarian version of the classic chicken butter masala but the cauliflower is roasted instead of sauteed. It is made with an onion tomato gravy and finished with cream. The ending result does depend on the spices you use and there are many. This recipe came to me from Food52 and as … Continue reading
Awhile ago I posted a recipe using a coleslaw mix in a stir-fry. Now, I would like to share with you another mix that makes stir-fries easier as well, but is still quite tasty. Broccoli slaw has 3 ingredients: broccoli, carrots and red cabbage – wonderful combination added to a meat of your choice and … Continue reading
I love sheet pan dinners and most of all I love shrimps, especially when served with some veggies. The summer squash and zucchini were perfect sides and I served it over rice. The sliced baguette was brushed with the garlicky lemon butter sauce and the rest was combined with the shrimps.
